The McDonald’s Maple & Brown Sugar Muffin is being added to the brand's fall McCafe menu to provide patrons with the perfect option to pair with their favorite coffee this autumn.
The muffin boasts a freshly baked profile that's crafted with Quaker oats in the mix alongside real maple syrup and brown sugar for the perfect touch of sweetness. The muffin is then finished with Demerara sugar to give it a touch of sweet texture to balance well with the softly baked cake inside.
The McDonald’s Maple & Brown Sugar Muffin is arriving at locations in Canada for a limited time only alongside the returning Pumpkin Spice Latte, which make the perfect pairing for diners to pick up this autumn.
